Tub Trug buckets ... perfect for being picked up and shaken around by a naughty pony! Also because they 'fold together' I can carry 4 feeds at once and the GGs cant get their noses in until I have put them where I want them. (Of course my horses are all perfectly polite and wouldn't dream of crowding me at feeding time .... not!)

My two 12 ft wool lead ropes. Wish I could find more. Tub trugs of course and my light weight plastic shavings fork. I bloomin hate my poo scoop and rake thing. It does my wrists in!

Tubtrugs of all sizes and colours for amongst other things feeding, watering and muck collection.
Be Nice halter as it cured my habitual rearer.
Equi-pings as I have a thing about tying horses up safely.

1. My Elevator Bridle, fab for his royal highness as he is so sensitive! 2. Prolite Pad - my saddle fits well but due to past injuries it just gives him that extra comfort 3. My libby's webbing reins, sooo light and lovely to use

1) My wheel barrow. Great not just for muck picking, but for carting all those heavy bags of feed, bedding, etc from one place to another. It gets loads of abuse, but never lets me down…
2) All my equine hi-viz equipment, would never ride without it and the wrap around sheet is so warm, especially when worn over my legs on those chilly days. 3) My corn broom, it’s the best broom ever, sweeps everything up, gets in all those nooks that normal brooms can’t and has lasted me a lot longer too.

TEATMINT meant for cows' udders but is excellent on my mare's heels, no mudfever. Liquid paraffin - keeps the mud from sticking on her lower legs and makes them very easy to clean and TUFFCUTS scissors with blunt ends which will cut through anything, leather included.

1) John Whitaker Dummy Spurs, Difficult to use unintentionally and when used very mild.
2) Sports Medicine Boots, absorbs energy from hoof impact. 3) Soft leather Bitless Bridle without any cross straps, so basically a head collar, Kindest thing I have found to use and best for me.

My Dually - without a doubt one of the best pieces of equipment I've ever bought, along with my very long leadrope.
My Equissage hand unit massager - keeps him supple, good for warming up before riding and it has got my horse used to having something buzzy on his skin, which has helped enormously in getting him over his clipper fear.
All my hiviz stuff (I seem to collect it), never go out on the road without it.

Canter Mane & Tail spray. Brilliant for my boys' long thick locks! My kettle. Use it for steaming hay (so much easier on the back than soaking) AND having a cuppa Sudocrem. Is there anything it doesn't cure?!

Dually for riding in aswell as ground work - reasons don't need stating I don't think. Pig oil, works like a dream for clean feet - claggy mud just falls off and mud fever stays away. Long line; on rare occassions where she gets a bit 'fresh' or spooky while leading, I can instantly do a minute or two of groundwork and get going normally again. Plus, I got laughed at years ago when I started using one for everything, until my horse spooked while 'pretend-tied' and belted up the field, I didn't have to move I just picked the line up and brought him calmly back
